Bikes?

+1 for Motorcycles

Love this idea! We need an easy way to move a little faster, I have been playin this for a few weeks and have never seen a vehicle, let alone ridden in one. I think repairable bikes would be awesome, make the parts fewer and easier to find, maybe bike tires only thing needed to repair or something.

I agree for the speed boost you need drawbacks, one for instance comes automatically, being easier to spot by bandits, since we would be a little higher up and moving faster.

Some other drawbacks could be added by code, maybe making your thirst depleat faster when your peddling a bike, also making it easier for zombies to spot you as already mentioned.

Also love this idea. I do agree that they could become very overpowered though. Can probably fix that by making one of the parts required fairly rare, like handlebars, chain or the seat maybe.

And yes i was also thinking about aggroing a shitload of Zs and they whipping past someone ringing the bell, possibly with a 'Run Bro' by voice on direct comms.

I agree with this idea, Bikes would be cool :)

Bikes being overpowered - DayZ really is a harsh place :P

bikes are in arma but imo the vanilla ones are a little on the fast side. Theyre completely silent and extremely quick, and realistically they'd be simple to repair. I think to implement them the speed would need to be reduced a bit. The other benefits they offer couldn't really be changed without sacrificing realism.

In arma their drawback is you'll be easilly gunned down by anyone who spots you... but in arma there's generally a lot more armed enemies around, and you actually try to encounter them. Opposite is the case in dayz.
